Mary had brought Leo to the water polo practice and was excited that he was finally going to try it out after all the begging she had put him through. He would be practicing with the guys, but the both of them were in the same pool. Garret gave Mary a quick peck on the cheek and was off to the boy's circle.

Mary and Leo got through practice quite well. The trouble began afterward. Leo and Mary had gotten changed and were sitting at the table outside the pool deck waiting to be picked up by Mary's mom. Stephen, who had watched the two of them enter and exit, was upset that Mary had brought Leo. Stephen hadn't done anything to Leo during the practice because Stephen was under the watchful eye of the coach, and he didn't want to get in trouble. But when he found the two of them sitting in each other's arms, he had to exercise a lot of self control to keep himself from hurting Leo. The two of them started to kiss innocently, oblivious to Stephen's presence just behind them. Stephen had had it.

"Mary," he said tapping her on the shoulder, interrupting the kiss, "can I talk to you alone?"

"Sure," she said, "I don't see why not." Leo gave Stephen an upset look as Mary walked over to where Stephen was standing, but he didn't move from the table. Stephen took Mary by the hand and brought her back onto the pool deck where Leo couldn't see them.

"Mary," he started, "I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but you can do way better than Leo."

"Really?" she said putting her hands on her hips getting upset with Stephen. "Tell me, who do you think is better than Leo?"

"I'll show you." He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close. He kissed her passionately.

"But," she said pushing Stephen away, "what about Leo?"

"I don't care about him," he said pulling her in for another kiss. Leo started worrying about Mary, thinking that she was taking way too long, and that she shouldn't be spending too much alone time with Stephen, and decided to go see what was going on. He quietly walked to the pool entrance and found the two of them kissing. He cleared his throat to make them aware of his. Mary and Stephen pulled apart reluctantly to look over at him.
